Kim Hae-jin (Hangul김해진; Hanja金海珍; born April 23, 1997) is a South Korean figure skater. She is the 2012 JGP Slovenia champion and a three-time (2010, 2011, and 2012) South Korean national champion. She was selected to represent her country at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

In the 2007–08 season, Kim placed 5th at the South Korean Championships on the novice level. A year later in 2009, she repeated that placement on the junior level.

In the 2009–10 season, Kim competed in 2010 South Korean Championships on the senior level at age twelve. Placing first in both the short program and the free skate, she won the gold medal with 148.78 points. In April 2010, she won the novice title at the 2010 Triglav Trophy, earning 144.11 points. Her score was one of the best among the skaters who competed and the best among all the ladies. Had she competed on the senior level, she would have won the competition.

Kim was assigned to 2010–11 ISU Junior Grand Prix events in Japan and Germany. However, her foot was injured by another skater's skate blade in training, resulting in her withdrawal from the Japan event. She made her junior international debut at the event in Germany, finishing 28th. At the 2011 South Korean Championships, she placed third in the short program scoring 46.82 points, and won the free skate with 98.47 to win her second national title.
